2017 Nebu Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, Grant Burge

The Barossa Night

This is a grand Barossa red with Cabernet in the driver’s seat and Shiraz bringing the velvet. Deep, dark and richly composed, it opens with blackcurrant, cassis, plum and dark cherry, followed by black coffee, mint chocolate, earth, spice and a polished touch of oak. There is power here, but it is not just brawn. The Cabernet gives the wine its frame and freshness, while the Shiraz fills the middle with warmth, depth and dark-fruited generosity.

The palate is bold, layered and luxurious, with berries, mocha, dark chocolate, plum and spice moving through a smooth, creamy finish. The tannins are present but now settling beautifully, giving the wine structure without hardness. It is mature enough to drink with pleasure now, but still has the concentration and balance to continue developing. A serious bottle for red meat, winter tables and anyone who likes their Barossa with both polish and authority. Peak drinking from 2020 to 2040.

For when you want the comfort of Barossa Shiraz with the backbone of Cabernet.
Pairs with roast beef, ribeye steak, lamb shoulder, venison, slow-cooked brisket, hard cheeses, or mushroom and ale pie.
If this wine were… a skyline, it would be Barossa at midnight: dark, wide, star-filled and quietly magnificent.

Grant Burge Wines is one of the Barossa’s great names, rooted in five generations of Burge family growers and a deep understanding of South Australia’s most famous wine region. The family’s story in the Barossa stretches back to the 1800s, and today the estate is known for generous, expressive wines that capture the richness, warmth and character of the valley. Nebu sits within the Grant Burge Icons range, taking the classic Australian Cabernet Shiraz blend and giving it top-tier treatment: powerful, structured, dark-fruited and built for long ageing.
